started making paper bags on a small scale while still in high school
...
YILI was the first local registered paper bag and envelope
producing company in Uganda
...
YILI's customer base includes local hospitals, retail shops, roadside
sellers, super markets, and major local flour-manufacturing companies like Maganjo
Grain Millers and Akamai Foods
...
In addition to
managing his growing enterprise, Peter has found time to train over 500 individuals,
mostly young people, on how to make paper bags through which 16 other projects have
been set up
...
Peter has now diversified his
line to include gift bags
...
He was recognized by Tony Elemelu for the Tony Elemelu
Prize in Business Award in 2014
